unfortunately, I suspect the price won't drop spectacularly.

Hi collin/ian! haha
I agree with you about the price, a few hundred should be the maximum.
I'm glad you said that you thought there were some glitches with it as
somehow I thought it was too good to be true, it's one of those things to
wait for till their price drops massively and they've got their small issues
sorted!
Thanks Ian!
Kirsten.
